Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chilled plant-based butter, cubed
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 3/4 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to keep your biscuits from sticking while baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and natural gelling agent. Combining these dry ingredients first ensures even distribution and perfect rising.
- Cut in the Plant-Based Butter: Cut chilled plant-based butter into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend the butter into the dry mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step creates flaky layers inside the biscuits.
- Add Blueberries and Wet Ingredients: Gently fold in fresh blueberries so they don’t break and release too much juice. Next, create a well in the mixture and add the non-dairy milk and natural vanilla extract. Stir carefully until the dough just comes together.
- Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick round. Cut into 8 equal wedges or use a biscuit cutter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden on top.
Notes
- Keep Butter Cold: Use chilled plant-based butter to achieve flakiness and prevent greasy dough.
- Don’t Overmix: Stir the dough just until combined to keep biscuits tender and light.
- Fresh Blueberries: Use firm, fresh berries rather than frozen to keep your biscuits from becoming soggy.
- Baking Sheet Prep: Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and create crisp, clean bottoms.
- Quick Bake: Place biscuits immediately into a hot oven for best rise and texture.
